The Coalition's “full and frank” audit of its successes and failures that was
excluded from the Mid-Term Review has been called "a whitewash" by
Labour.

The Government published the 122-page document this afternoon, promising a candid assessment of any pledges it has not yet met.

The existence of the review’s annex was only made public when the Telegraph revealed that one of Mr Cameron’s senior advisers was photographed in Downing Street yesterday carrying a document that discussed the advantages and disadvantages of releasing it.

But speaking to BBC Radio 4’s PM programme Labour MP Michael Dugher described the publication of the audit as a “fiasco”.

“I’m afraid the Government has lurched from failure to fiasco,” the Shadow Cabinet Office Minister said. “Far from the unvarnished truth that they reluctantly promised after yesterday’s leaks, all we’ve seen today from the so-called audit is a whitewash.

He said the audit had failed to say anything about “the true state of the economy” or the reorganisation of the NHS.

At Prime Minister’s Question David Cameron denied Labour accusations that he tried to bury a “secret audit” into the successes and failures of the Coalition.

Labour leader Ed Miliband said the Prime Minister did not want the document to be published because it would lead to negative headlines.

Grant Shapps, the Conservative Party co-chairman, insisted that the audit was a “warts-and-all” account of the Coalition’s achievements.

He claimed the document had not been released on Monday with the rest of the Mid-Term Review because officials “wanted to fact check everything”.

“I think that the interesting thing about the briefing document was that in the end, it sort of says despite all these difficulties, despite the fact that presentationally it might be difficult, actually we think we should go ahead and publish this appendix and show everything warts-and-all, and I think that’s to be welcomed,” Mr Shapps said.

Mr Shapps claimed that the Coalition published the document in the interests of transparency.

The published document makes clear that for a “definitive account of progress” the audit should be “considered alongside the quarterly reports that are published on progress against the commitments in the departmental business plans.

The Telegraph has analysed the business plans of the Government’s departments and has found that the Coalition has failed to keep more than 70 pledges.

The Telegraph’s analysis found that the Ministry of Justice has failed to implement 14.7 per cent of planned policies.

The Telegraph found that Chris Grayling’s justice department is yet to start nine of its 2010 pledges, including one to publish “high level strategic” plans for reducing female offending rates.

The MoJ also has 11 overdue pledges, including the implementation of plans to offer cash incentives if inmates are prevented from reoffending after release, a project which Mr Grayling announced details of this morning.

The analysis also found that the MoJ is still working to increase the voluntary repatriation of foreign criminals as an alternative to prosecution in the UK.

The Department for Work and Pensions has the second-worst record of pledges successfully carried out, the analysis found, with 11.7 per cent of planned policies not yet implemented.

The nine proposals yet to be delivered include a failure to publish a White Paper on a single tier pension for pensioners

Iain Duncan Smith’s department is also still working to draft and publish its disability strategy and to improve its website so people can get advice on their benefits online.

The Cabinet Office, which has failed to implement six Coalition pledges – 9.4 per cent of its promises – is still trying to get an agreement on limiting donations and reforming party funding.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which has failed to implement four election pledges, is yet to secure new arrangements for flood insurance beyond 2013.

The Department for Transport, led by Patrick McLoughlin, has six overdue Coalition promises, including the pledge to set out proposals to move towards “a more unified regulatory structure for our railways”.
